I'm confused with the OP's intent here. Is there a reason for the inflated death totals by 5 or 6 times. Is there a reason he didn't mention the
Spanish were already at war there for 20 years before the Spaniards lost its war with America? Is there a reason why we wanted to send a super
typhoon there?

If you look at how many Filipinos are living in America I would say they have successfully invaded us.

Seriously?

I have referenced death totals. Disputing them will always be the first American apologetic response, ie, oh, America didnt kill 3 million they only
killed 1 million or whatever. As if 1 million souls is only 1 million souls. Ditto for hurricane haiyan- initial death tolls were around 10,000 now
there is even already an ATS topic explaining the number of Filipinos dead greatly exceeds 10K.

Bottom line is there is no reason for American's taxpayers dollars to be funding global terror, whatever number of thousands or millions being killed
still, yet its happening increasingly so now not just in the mideast region. As it is, America's War on Terrorism has blatantly turned into the War
OF Terrorism.

As for the comment that since many Filipinos are living in America, that means they have invaded us, not even going to respond to it any further than
simply pointing it out.

In addition to commemorating the 100-year anniversary of the genocide, US aid to a 'wounded' Filipino population in the aftermath of this collosal
storm, promises more American presence in Philippines thus more use of Filipino land as a 'launching pad' against China.

It is a difficult topic, and one that is very divisive on this site. The problem with saying the US is doing this, is that it invites the ire of
those who feel the need to defend the flag to jump in. Then there are the sheeplesque science types who believe that the whole concept is hogwash.
For my tow cents, having spent a lot of time in the US, I know the majority of the American people to be great and loving. The idea of them being
behind the slaughter of people is reprehensible. The hardware, the black budget, well it may be made and controlled on US soil, but those who
undertake these atrocities are without any national allegiance.

As for the technology, when you say HAARP, everyone thinks about the antiquated array in Alaska, which has about as much relevance now as the soviet
version Chernobyl 2, which is rusting in the ruins of what is left of Prypriat. I have watched the development of this technology as a bystander
since the early eighties when the concepts were being discussed. Microwave atmospherics has come a long way, and people still haven't accepted their
existence, so even discussing them is an arduous struggle against ignorance. If I were to speculate on this one, I would look to the SBX platforms
(I say platforms because it has been speculated there are more than one), made in Mobile, by Raytheon. There is also the sphere's program, where
solid targets are released into the stratosphere to act as focal points to direct storm fronts. Locally, federal dollars were funnelled into airport
upgrades that saw the implementation of a massive array of Doppler antennae. If you know Doppler, then you will understand the overkill factor built
into these arrays if they were merely being used to track the weather. Factoring in weather modification makes far more sense.

I have always been flambéed whenever I mentioned the subject matter here. I expect this posting to be no different, but people will always shoot the
messenger. My mentor was consulted during the sixties to resolve the installation and aerodynamic issues involved in the "silver sprayers" as he
used to call them used in Vietnam. When something works, you can be sure the technology will continue to be funded. We built the bomb, why is it so
hard to believe we'd try to control the weather.

that is correct Zaph, and the level of energy to generate storms of that magnitude is over our paygrade and ability. You may be able to ionize
particles to a high level locally but if you lift off the throttle the process loses effect....2.21 jigawatts aint enough Doc....

As for the comment that since many Filipinos are living in America, that means they have invaded us, not even going to respond to it any further than

Actually that was joke... Are you Filipino? I think not...

The reason I ask is your attitude is far from theirs. I'm married to one have a house there and about 1000 relatives there, AND they do not harbor
your feelings at all. I'm trying to figure out your point in all this. I'm not here to say America has not done what today we consider bad
practices, but the whole world has done the same, and in most cases worst... So what is your point? Once again why would America send a super typhoon
to the PI when we can't even control the weather here, and why would we send it to a country that is completely intertwine with us on so many
levels?
